[QUOTE="petenz, post: 219891, member: 10202"] I've used the 90 grain sierras, From memory with 61gr of AR2209 I was getting 3580 out of a 24" barrel but I don't have it written down anywhere so take that figure with a grain of salt. I got good 100 yard accuracy, consistently sub-minute, but what I found was that with the poor BC, past 250 yards they dropped like a rock, and blew around a lot in even slight wind. I never shot them at paper past 100 yards, only at rabbits/wallabies. My barrel is a 1:10" I found that the .223 was a better bet, and now I use 130gr ballistic tips in my .270 when I want to shoot rabbits with it. The 90grainers were [B]very[/B] effective on rabbits and wallabies though. I shot a couple of goats at close range with them and was less than impressed. [/QUOTE]
